Consistency is doing similar things over time.
So many people need help to become consistent. However, showing up daily at a specific time is a challenging task. Doing one task daily becomes monotonous after a time.
But you can become consistent.
Read through! It may inspire you to become consistent.
Beginning to become consistent is a journey.
So many people start but, in between, give up their goal.
There could be many reasons behind but among all. However, there is one common reason.
I am not getting rewards.
In the early days, the focus should be to become consistent.
You start showing up daily in itself as a reward.
Monetary rewards or success will happen with a system after you become consistent. You become efficient with consistency. Then, of course, you need discipline and self-control. In Bhagavad Gita, Krishna said a thing whose essence is "One must be unattached to the fruits of one's actions."
The age-old message is universal and will be valid in any Yuga. If you dig deeper to the Krishna message. It looks to me like he gave a method to become consistent. If you keep thinking about the reward, you will never become consistent. However, reward is not the only challenge people face.
The challenge people face in becoming consistent.
Important Note: Remember, growth is not always immediately visible. Stay committed to your goals. Over time, your efforts are likely to yield results, even if they may not be apparent in the present moment.

Finding and sticking to a routine that works for you.
We all have different environments at our place. So waking up at 4 am could not be your thing. So it is better to find a routine that works for you, and it is one most significant challenges. Please remember you can be consistent even if you don't wake up in the early morning. The purpose of becoming consistent is to excel in life.
Understand the above context with an example, if you have a job and want to do a side hustle, you must check the time you give in the office. And if you are married and have a baby. Then it is clear you need time for your family as well. Therefore, you must find a routine to which you can stick. Saying that I will put 8 hours on my side hustle will be a lie. It is better to monitor your daily life and find the time that you can put to your side hustle. A routine that will work for you will excite you to do things.
The top challenge is to keep going while waiting to see results.
Growth can be challenging because it is not always linear. It would help if you changed the perspective of how you look at growth. As I wrote in the above paragraph, becoming consistent is a reward. It would help if you looked at the other indicators of development. You are doing something daily, so you must be learning something daily.
Success doesn't happen because of your skills only. You must be patient and persistent with your work to attain success. These two are essential elements for long-term growth. It will be good for you if you don't look at immediate results and continue your endeavors.
Break down goals into smaller steps.
It would be best to break a goal into smaller goals. Smaller goals are building steps to reach the big goals. The bigger goal makes the work challenging. For example - when you have to reach the 15th floor by stairs. It will be a challenge for you. But if you decide to reach the first floor first and then take a rest before you proceed further. This process will make your task of reaching the 15th floor quite easy.
You must have come across this sentence "Celebrate small wins." So how will you celebrate small wins if you don't break down your goals? Winning smaller goals will boost your enthusiasm, and you will act frequently.
Consistency helps you become efficient.
You don't write similar things daily. However, when you start, writing daily feels a tad difficult. The generic suggestion is to write anything that comes to your mind so you are in practice. But as you start following a routine to write daily. You become comfortable with the writing.
You might write only a sentence for the first thirty days.
Or
You will write something and delete it because you won't consider it worthy.
But the above thing will help you improve. For example, no one will write the same thing for thirty days. You will work to improve.
Consistency makes you disciplined.
You have to do specific tasks daily. In the creation journey, the early is the toughest for many reasons. It is challenging to do a similar job daily at a particular time. You will have to become disciplined.
For example - I post daily on Twitter. I need time to write the content. Writing is one of many things that I do. Without following a routine, finding time to post on Twitter is challenging. Because I have a family and daily household chores.
You have a limited time of twenty-four hours. I have allocated time from my daily life for Twitter to write. I have built a discipline that pushes me to write for a certain time to post on Twitter.
You never quit.
You will be consistent if you don't quit. Not quitting is also growing. The hope of success will be alive. Remember, you started doing certain things to change your life. If you stop working, the change will never happen in your life.
Suppose the results are unfavorable despite working. The best thing is to look at the strategy which you have opted for. You need to improvise and continue doing it to see the result. Ideation and iteration will help you continue your work. So better focus on that and keep the success window open. So many great people have said to never quit.
Conclusion
The true meaning of consistency you will get to know when you become. However, If you read this post from beginning to end, you would have realized that consistency is more than maintaining regularity. Consistency intertwines so many things.
If you are seeking growth, a suggestion would be to become consistent.
The pain is worth it.
